Introduction.

Derivatives of 4(1H)-quinolinones are an intensively studied group of compounds, because of their known biological activity. On the other hand, the derivatives of 3-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4(1H)-quinolinones have not been investigated in depth. Investigations of the biological role of some of these derivatives have been reported in only about five articles, in which the inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase [1] or topoisomerase [2,3] inhibition activity, cytostatic activity [4] and the cleavage of these quinolinones by dioxygenases [ 5] are discussed.

Because the derivatives of the mentioned quinolinones are sterically similar to naturally occurring flavonoids known for their anticancer activity [6,7,8], we expect this activity also for derivatives of 3-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4(1H)-quinolinone. The first observation of cytostatic activity against cancer lines was published for chlorine derivatives [4]. Incorporation of the amino group to nitrogen in such heterocycles can influence the biological activity and offers the possibility to enhance their solubility via formation of ammonium salts. An amino group is also

potentially able to be involved in creation of new heterocyclic systems or to be modified into various nitrogenous substituents in position 1 of 3-hydroxy-2-phenylquinolin-4(1H)-one skeleton. These types of compounds have never been described. For these reasons, in this work, we have attempted to develop the methodology for preparation of N-amino-3-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4(1H)-quinolinone.

Results and Discussion.

For synthesis of the desired derivative we tried to use a modification of the widely explored cyclization reaction of anthranilic acid phenacylesters [9]. Because cyclization also takes place in phenacylesters with substituted amino groups e.g. by alkyl or aryl group [10], we tried to use 2-hydrazinobenzoic acid phenacylester, in which the amino group is substituted by a second amino group, for the cyclization. For preparation of the starting 2-hydrazinobenzoic acid phenacylester, an NH2 group of hydrazine must be protected first. Otherwise, just this group was alkylated with phenacylbromide competitively. We achieved complete protection of the amino group of

hydrazine via transformation to the hydrazono moiety. As the protective group we chose malondinitrile, diethylmalonate, ethylcyanoacetate and ethyl-2-methyl-acetoacetate, which are suitable for subsequent formation of heterocycles, e.g. of the pyrazole type, in position 1 of potentially prepared quinolinones. The derivatives of quinolinones substituted in position 1 with a heterocycle have been studied intensively because of their antibacterial activity [11,12], platelet aggregation inhibition activity [12], anti-HIV activity [13], etc.

The incorporation of the mentioned protective group was achieved via diazotation of anthranilic acid phenacylester 1, prepared by a synthesis already described [9] and subsequent coupling reaction with malondinitrile, diethylmalonate, ethylcyanoacetate and ethyl-2-methyl-acetoacetate under neutral or slightly basic conditions (Scheme 1).

Cyclization of these compounds 2 to appropriate quinolinones 4 was tried in polyphosphoric acid, N-methylpyrrolidone and acetic acid. While the first two media afforded a mixture of numbered products in all

cases, cyclization in acetic acid caused hydrolyses of one nitrile group of compound 2a to yield hydrazone 3, while hydrazones 2b-2d remained unaltered. Varying the reaction temperature as well as reaction time did not lead to the target compound 4 (Scheme 2).

Probably the low basicity of nitrogen in the NH group, resulting from its mesomeric effect, is what hinders the cyclization.

In other synthetic strategy, we decided to use benzoyl as the protecting group. Esterification of benzoylhydrazonobenzoic acid 5, prepared by a known procedure [14], proceeded without complication to afford the ester 6a. We were interested in the rate of cyclization in comparison to competitive hydrolysis of the benzoyl group in polyphosphoric acid. If the hydrolysis had proceeded more quickly than cyclization, we could have obtained N-aminoquinolone

8 and probably 1,2-dihydroindazole-3-one (9) or some other side products. Surprisingly, we obtained N-benzoyl-3-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4(1H)-quinolinone 7a (Scheme 3).

Hydrolysis of the protecting benzoyl group was unsuccessful in boiling hydrochloric acid as well as in 10-15 % sodium hydroxide solution. Anticipating a more facile hydrolysis with the acetyl group (better leaving group) we prepared the N-acetyl derivative 7b [14]. Unfortunately, as in case of benzoyl, it was not possible to hydrolyse this acetyl group in either hydrochloric acid or in sodium hydroxide. The unusual stability of the acyl derivatives 7a as well as 7b against hydrolysis and the presence of two amino groups of the hydrazine moiety able to participate in cyclization lead us to undertake a detailed study of the structures of these compounds. An elaborate NMR study including 1H-13C and 1H-15N long-range correlation techniques, was conducted for both compounds.

For compound 7a, the 1H signal observed at = 11.81 ppm was correlated with two nitrogen atoms at = 130.5 (multiple-bond interaction) and 139.2 ppm (one-bond interaction). The latter nitrogen atom was also correlated with two aromatic hydrogens at = 7.56 and 8.33 ppm. The NH proton was correlated with carbon atoms at = 165.6 ppm, which could be assigned to exocyclic C=O carbon, 115.3 and 131.2 ppm. In the case of compound 7b, two nitrogen atoms were also detected. The N-H pair was proved by a one-bond correlation peak observed at

11.19 ppm (1H) and 141.9 ppm (15N). This NH nitrogen atom was also correlated with methyl protons (1.72 ppm). Another 15N signal was found at 131.9 ppm correlating with two aromatic protons (7.54 and 8.27 ppm) and CH3 protons. Thus, the presence of the CH3C(O)NHN moiety was proved. The 1H-15N gs-HMBC spectrum of compound 7b is shown in Figure 1. 15N chemical shifts determined for both nitrogen atoms correspond with literature [15]. The structure of this compound was also elucidated by its 1H-13C multiple-bond correlation spectrum, as correlation peaks between NH proton and CH3 carbon (19.8 ppm), aromatic carbon (115.5 ppm), aromatic carbon (138.2 ppm) and C=O carbon (168.4 ppm) were observed.

Finally we tried to remove the protective group by heating compounds 7 in various concentrations of sulphuric acid. As the only effective method for the hydrolysis we found reflux in 50 % sulphuric acid, when both acetyl and benzoyl groups left the quinolone skeleton to afford the desired N-aminoquinolinone 8 (Scheme 3).

scanned on an ATI Unicam Genesis FTIR instrument and values are described in cm–1. Elemental analyses were performed by using an EA 1108 Elemental Analyzer (Fison Instrument). Mass spectrometric experiments were performed using an LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer (Finnigan MAT, San Jose, CA, USA), NMR spectra were measured with a Bruker Avance 300 spectrometer operating at 300.13 MHz (1H), 75.47 MHz (13C) and 30.42 MHz (15N). The compounds were dissolved in DMSO-d6 and measured at 300 K. Tetramethylsilane was used as an internal standard (1H, 13C). The individual 1H and 13C signals were assigned and refined by means of 2D correlation experiments: the gs-COSY (gradient-selected correlation) [16], gs-HMQC (gradient-selected heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation) [17] (1JH,C = 150 Hz) and gs-HMBC (gradient-selected heteronuclear multiple bond correlation) [17] (nJH,C = 6.0 Hz). 15N NMR chemical shifts were obtained for compounds 7a and 7b at natural abundance by the 1H-15N gs-HMBC experiment (nJH,N = 4.2 Hz) [15]. Urea (1 M in DMSO-d6) was used as a secondary external standard ( = 77.0 ppm) [15].

N-Amino-3-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4(1H)-quinolinone (8).

a) Derivative 7a (186.0 mg, 0.5 mmol) was suspended in 50% solution of sulphuric acid (5 ml). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 hour and then poured onto ice. The solution was subsequently neutralized with aqueous ammonia and the dark brown precipitate filtered, washed with water and dried to yield 73.9 mg (56%).

b) Above mentioned procedure starting from derivative 7b (147.0 mg, 0.5 mmol). Yield 65.5 mg (52 %); mp 199-205 °C; ir: NH 3194; CO 1719, 1694, 1607 cm-1; 1H nmr (DMSO-d6): 5.68 (s, 2H, NH2), 7.34 (t, 1H, Ar-H, J = 7.3 Hz), 7.42-7.52 (m, 5H, Ar-H), 7.71 (t, 1H, Ar-H, J = 7.9 Hz), 8.08 (d, 1H, Ar-H, J = 8.8 Hz), 8.12 (bs, 1H, OH), 8.25 (dd, 1H, Ar-H, J = 8.2 Hz, J = 1.3 Hz); ms: m/z 253 (M+).
